I assume I'm not alone, but part of the pleasure of porn for me is the knowledge that I'm watching real people have sex. I'm not interested in animated porn and I wouldn't knowingly want to watch AI porn, even if realistically looked like humans.

Well, Google Lens matched the first photo to a fitness "influencer" on TikTok. I don't want to share that name here because I don't want to violate any forum rules, but the guy is either reckless or ignorant about using the same photo in an escort ad and another online platform or, perhaps, someone has just "borrowed" his photos.

Another upside of the .eu site is that it works with the hide.me proxy website whereas .men does not.

Why would "everything need to start over" just because you're getting a new phone? I assume Apple's software works like Android -- it's fairly easy to copy your information from your old phone to your new one. Even if you don't want to copy over everything like photos, videos, music, etc, if you sign in with the same Google account (or, I assume, Apple id) and have the option to sync contacts selected. Also, if you're using Android you can sign into your Google account at mail.google.com on any computer and send/receive texts there. Not having used Apple phones, I don't know if they have a similar function but I assume they do. Or are you just wanting to start with a clean slate with your mobile phone for some reason -- new phone number, new Google/Apple account, etc? -
I'll take him at his word that he isn't anti-gay but merely didn't know how to respond to the question. I had no difficulty responding to a similar but more personal question from the nephew of my then boyfriend nearly 40 years ago. His extended family was out for a walk and his 6 year old nephew got paired up with me to be safe while crossing intersections. He asked me out of the blue how I could be with his uncle since we were two males and couples were supposed to be male and female together. I simply said sometimes two men love each other just like a man and a woman love each other. He accepted the answer and didn't ask any follow up questions. He definitely accepted me as if I were his uncle as well. His mom overheard our conversation and praised me for my answer later. It's easy to answer a question like this in an age appropriate manner unless you get hung up on thinking that anything that isn't hetero normative means you have to think about/talk about people's actual sex lives. That isn't what a kid is asking about. I know Snoop's situation involved the characters having a baby, so there's the question of "how do two women make a baby together" that wasn't present in my situation but if Snoop had just thought about it he'd realize the kid wasn't really looking for a lesson in biology. He could have simply said something like, "I don't know how they had the baby, but they love each other and baby, just like your mom and dad" or something along those lines.

Well, you cannot have it both ways. I wish that being gay was a "who cares/none of anyone else's business" situation. I thought we were moving that direction as a country with increasing support of letting gay people just life their lives, but the conservative backlash has brought back the need for gay people to speak up about who they are. Who knows -- the Supreme Court may end up taking up Kim Davis' case or another similar one and the right to same sex marriage can be eliminated.

I also typically reserve cute for youngish men. Older men that are cute are handsome instead. If a handsome man also has extra sex appeal, then he's hot.

I'm curious if anyone wants to post info/feedback on Kauy/Kuay.

Payment processors for sites like OFF/JFF/RM
maninsoma replied to White Daddy Top's topic in Questions About Hiring
I get wanting to keep your Rentmen subscription private, but Only Fans? They have over 300 million user accounts, about half of which are people in the USA. I don't see how it would be possible for the US government to go after subscribers in any specific way unless somehow illegal activity got uploaded to the site and you consumed it. -
Paying An Escort to Sleep and Exercise
maninsoma replied to FaustOust's topic in Questions About Hiring
I would have just stayed where I wanted to stay and let her stay where she wanted to stay. -
I don't see an ad that matches what was described, either. Quite honestly I didn't read the entirety of the original post because it read more to me like erotic fiction than reality. I'm open to being wrong about that, but the lack of an ad that matches what was described does raise my skepticism even higher. For the record, I don't think it's necessarily "internalized homophobia" that would cause some people to think it would be best not to pursue a man under these circumstances. I wouldn't do it, and not because I'm ashamed of being gay. It just sounds socially awkward.

Paying An Escort to Sleep and Exercise
maninsoma replied to FaustOust's topic in Questions About Hiring
That wouldn't be acceptable to me, either, unless you're keeping up until 3 or 4 in the morning in bed. -
Biggest controversy of my lifetime...new Cracker Barrel logo
maninsoma replied to samhexum's topic in The Lounge
I've never eaten at a Cracker Barrel, but I don't think I'm in areas very often where that's even an option. I did work at a company nearly 30 years ago that had a large contract with Cracker Barrel and I had a lot of interactions with some of their senior managers. I viewed the entire thing as rather distasteful since they had already demonstrated their anti-gay bias and the company I worked for was based in San Francisco. Wonder what those senior managers thought about having a gay man lead the team of people assigned to assist their employees with their health benefits? Not that I specifically came out to any of them, but I've been told my entire life that it's "obvious" that I'm gay so they either must have ignored those clues or just chose to accept me since they had no other choice in the moment. At any rate, it was a real drag to be in my position since their demands (and thus my employer's demands) for me and my team went way beyond what we did for other large employers. The workload was intense and the pay relatively low. I was so glad when I escaped for a much better paying job elsewhere. I couldn't care less about their logo. -
Do providers talk to each other about clients?
maninsoma replied to DMonDude's topic in Questions About Hiring
In my earlier days of hiring (about 25-30 years ago), I hired lots of guys of Asian descent who advertised on Craigslist. I know that some of them knew each other because I'd have a new guy come over and he'd tell me that another guy I had previously hired had vouched for me being a good client. This happened more than once. I'm either unlucky or I've got a negative post about me on MrNumber or elsewhere because I've had a lot more flakes over the past decade as well as more guys who simply don't reply when I contact them. I asked an escort friend to look to see if he could find any negative mention of me somewhere and he said he didn't find anything, so maybe it just is that there are more flaky guys now. -
Paying An Escort to Sleep and Exercise
maninsoma replied to FaustOust's topic in Questions About Hiring
I agree with the others saying that all of this needs to be negotiated before the engagement, not during. Since you didn't give specifics but rather generalities, it's hard to know if the escort is being unreasonable or you are. I'm a morning person, and by that I mean that I typically get up before 5 a.m. even if I have been up relatively late (for me) the night before. If I view an escort staying in bed to get a more normal amount of sleep as "sleeping in" then maybe I could get annoyed, but I certainly wouldn't fault someone for wanting closer to 8 hours of sleep even if they are on a paid weekend with someone. If you don't want to pay someone to sleep, then don't travel with a paid companion and rather just have hourly or multi-hour appointments at your destination. The way overnights and longer engagements typically work, however, is that the overall rate is much lower than if you hired multiple guys to spend an hour or two with you during the same travel period. I also think that an escort wanting some gym time during an appointment is reasonable as long as it's not longer than an hour to 90 minutes. One way to change this from being a "I'm not getting what I paid for" moment to something more pleasurable is for you to go to the gym with him. If you're not inclined to actually work out, maybe you can walk on a treadmill and watch him lifting weights, enjoying the scenery. All this isn't to say that maybe this particular escort doesn't have unreasonable expectations for alone time when he's working. If he wants to spend 10 hours sleeping and three hours of gym time I could see how most clients would find that annoying. But, again, discussing expectations in advance is key to avoiding a situation where you have hired someone whose priorities don't match yours. -
In NH, cease and desist giving your pickle away !
maninsoma replied to Ali Gator's topic in The Lounge
His stupid mistake was accepting cash. That transformed his "I'm doing this for free for family & friends" to "I'm running an unlicensed business." Normally I could join in the outrage against someone just having a minor side hustle, but if food isn't canned properly serious pathogens can grow inside the allegedly preserved food that can cause illness or death. I find it a bit disingenuous to try to compare this to selling stuff at a bake sale. At any rate, I'm sure he could resume canning without complying with the state's mandates by simply refusing to provide canned food to anyone he doesn't know personally. It isn't like the state is going to randomly serve a search warrant on his home to see if he's canning food. -
Consoling a provider who…. had plumbing issues
maninsoma replied to ThirdEye's topic in Questions About Hiring
I had the reverse happen to me. A provider was apparently so turned off about a little bit of poop (and I mean very little -- there wasn't anything visible on his sheets, just a small amount on my ass) that he ran to the shower without telling me his intentions, then returned several minutes later fully dressed, asking for full payment, and telling me to leave. I've posted this story in more detail here before, but needless to say I didn't pay him his full fee since (a) we probably spent at most 10 minutes together in bed after he insisted on spending several minutes smoking pot after I arrived and (b) even if he didn't want to continue fucking me, there were many other things we could have done. I gave him part of his fee, told him off, and left. There's an interestingly amusing sex ed series on Wow Presents Plus that features two of RuPaul's Drag Race queens (Miss Vanjie and Cameron Michaels) and a sex therapist. I still remember what the sex therapist said during an episode devoted to anal play: If you cannot handle an occasional accident, then you shouldn't be doing anal play. Not that it isn't important for a bottom to try to be as prepared as possible, but someone who freaks out along the level of what I dealt with should surely not be sticking his dick in anyone's ass. -
Funny that you abbreviated San Diego SD. The first thing that popped in my mind is South Dakota, so I was thinking that almost any escort ad there could be suspect since I doubt a lot of guys there would place an ad on Rentmen. I have to admit that I'm guilty (as are a lot of other people in my area) of assuming that everyone "knows" SF is San Francisco.

Because neither the thread title nor initial post reveal what information is in the link provided, I'll try to summarize it very generally for those who don't want to click the link just to see what it's about: The article discusses Only Fans owner's payment to himself as well as other numbers related to the site (number of content creators and user accounts, net profits) as well as a brief summary of Only Fans' ownership and what the current owner does in addition to owning Only Fans. In short, nothing particularly interesting unless you're curious about those things. I'm not sure what I expected to read there when I clicked the link, but somehow I thought maybe it would be a bit more interesting.

Providers contacting clients. Is it welcome?
maninsoma replied to + Jamie21's topic in Questions About Hiring
I've only ever had a handful of escorts contact me after an appointment. Two of them were traveling escorts so I appreciated them keeping in touch with me when they were visiting my area again so I could arrange appointments. I had an understanding with both of them that I welcomed hearing from them when they were visiting again. In a few cases, I hired the guys more than once but not enough to become a regular. I don't mind a guy reaching out after a couple of visits once or maybe twice to offer another appointment, but it does become annoying if a guy keeps texting me and I haven't returned to see him again. It's the equivalent of junk mail at that point. A few times guys have messaged me right after the appointment just to thank me for the appointment and to let me know I could contact them any time for a future appointment. I always appreciated these messages if they occurred right after the appointment and were not followed up with additional messages if I didn't reply to them. I do understand based on previous threads here that some guys don't want to be contacted at all because they feel a need to hide their hiring activity from someone and don't want random messages popping up on their phones. -
amenities include metered parking
maninsoma replied to viewing ownly's topic in Questions About Hiring
It does seem odd to add it to a list of amenities, but maybe this guy's experience is that clients are more likely to see this there than if he just mentioned it in the ad text. While not an amenity, I think it's good of him to inform clients who might not otherwise know that the guy's location only has paid parking so they can be prepared for that when visiting him. I know a lot of cities now have either meter-free paid parking (pay at a kiosk on the block or pay via a phone app), but if this guy is in an area that still has meters that require coins it's best that people know in advance they better show up with their quarters. -
In San Francisco, almost everyone maps to the intersection of Van Ness Avenue and Market Street. I'm not even sure why the mapping function exists on Rent.men since it isn't accurate.

I only hired him two times and it was a long time ago, but I didn't experience any odor issue, either. The only way I can imagine bringing up the issue without being offensive is to not bring up the issue but rather to simply say that showering together at the beginning of the session is a major turn on and ask if he can accommodate that request.
-
His Rentmen ad is active now and does list a different phone number than his Rentmasseur ad. I find his Rentmen ad offputting, though, since he doesn't list anything he's into and the text basically lets you know not to expect anything from him other than spending time with him. I take it that he is selective about who he does what with or maybe he just thinks that indicating he is being paid for companionship only sidesteps legal issues, but either way I wouldn't want to hire anyone who basically says you might get nothing from them other than hanging out together.

I was horrified by the mug shot (shows how drugs can really ruin one's looks), and maybe it was included as a cautionary example of "don't let this happen to you." Still, obituaries, if they include photos, generally just show the deceased in some healthy state, not when they are at their worst.
